APPEARANCE
EYES: Green
HAIR: Black, waist length, usually worn in two buns.
HEIGHT AND BUILD: 5'5", slender but strong.
PLAY-BY: Lalah Sune (Gundam)
FULL APPEARANCE: Lalah has a gentle appearance. Her face is oval in shape, and her features are soft. Large, warm green eyes, seem playful and inviting. Her chin is delicately pointed, and her ears are surprisingly small. Her face is almost overpowered by her hair, of which she has plenty. It is long and thick and matte black. Lalah tends to it carefully and keeps it well groomed and out of the way.
Physically she is small. Shorter than average, she often appears younger than she is. Her body is willowy, but has a hidden strength to it. Lalah is very much capable, more so than she appears. She is good at running, though climbing is difficult due to her size. She is not adverse to physical labor even if she looks like a stiff wind would blow her over. Lalah likes to wear loose clothing, be it dresses or trousers and tunics. Shoes are often left behind when it can be gotten away with. Her skin is also a dusky-copper in tone that becomes even richer in color when exposed to too much sunlight.
PERSONALITY
PERSONALITY: She certainly looks sweet and innocent, does our Lalah. However she is much too aware to be such things. Raised to rely on no one but herself, Lalah had to learn as much about the world as possible. She is naturally perceptive, and it is reflected in the way she carries herself and the way she looks at the world. Small as she is, and softly spoken with a lilting, almost childish voice, nothing about Lalah bespeaks "easy prey".
She is a hard worker. Often seeming light hearted and prone to fun, Lalah can bend her will to task like no other. She is an adept student, and if she does not pick it up quickly, she strives all the harder to master it. She sometimes comments on things she has noticed or observed at the strangest of times. She rarely appears anything but determined or serene, and sees the best in people, even if she isn't above using the worst.
HISTORY
FAMILY:
Landar - father Lahna - mother
SIGNIFICANT OTHER:
BIRTHPLACE: High Reaches
HISTORY: Lalah's father was a guard, and from him she learned all about duty and hard work. How to be resilient and think beyond the moment. To see more than the immediate. She very much wanted to be just like him, but her size did not recommend her for guard duty. Nor did her mother who was fearful of her daughter being hurt. So Lalah was no more than a drudge. A peculiar drudge to be sure, but at least she was safe, for the most part.
When not doing lessons or chores, Lalah liked to wander. She liked watching the way the world moved and worked. The way the herds grew restless beneath cloud-shadows, not know they were different from dragon-shadows. The way people sweated when they locked the doors against Thread. How some would not look at each other, yet often pass close or exchange notes.
Lalah had just finished ground crew duty when a dragon landed too close. She carried the flamethrower easily, and while sweaty and char-stained from the work, Lalah was not in the least winded or frightened. She stopped, pressing the nozzle into the dirt and looking up, up and up at the multi-faceted eyes. From the dragon she was drawn to the rider, who was speaking to her. Would she, Lalah, like to come to the Weyr? Would she, Lalah, like to Stand for a dragon? Why yes, yes she would.
